The mixed symmetry 2{sup +} states in the N=84 isotones {sup 142}Ce and {sup 144}Nd are investigated within the quasiparticle-phonon model, with special attention to their M1 decay to the lowest symmetric 2{sup +} state. The observed pronounced splitting of the M1 strength is shown to be caused by the phonon coupling, made quite effective by the peculiar shell structure of the two-valence neutrons above the N=82 shell closure.
